When I first wrote with this pen, it wasn't scratching the paper but it did drag
a bit. I used up that ink and flushed my pen. After cleaning off the
manufacturing oils from the nib, it writes like a dream. The ink comes out
smooth, and although its a western fine, the lines it draws aren't too broad.
I've had for a week and this pen writes every time I set it to paper. Also the
pen has a high ink capacity.
